Introducing the UBER WALLET!!


Here is my new style of wallet. It has lots more space, including a zippered compartment on the back outer and a pocket on the front which the tab closes over.


Outer zipper.


The inside is the same as the older style. I must say this was an experiment and things usually go wrong with my experiments. First I sewed the back on upside down and had to unpick it all and then as I was doing the topstitching I broke my needle (shattered is probably a more appropriate word!). But I got there in the end and I'm very pleased with the results.

Some more lovely wallets!
The wallet on the left is made from Erin McMorris and Amy Butler fabric and the wallet on the right is made from some placemats that I got from a second hand shop in Scotland and an old tablecloth from Vinnies!
Outside view.


This is my fabric stash. Yes, this really is how I keep my fabric. It was neatly stacked once, but once I've cut what I need I just seem to chuck the remainder back on the shelf.


And this is my sewing space. Its a dim corner in the spare room which is why I have two lamps, one of which (lava lamp) I rescued from mum's office at Rosny College today! I would kill for more space but will have to make do with what I've got!
